take them behind the woodshed

it was fun to watch Dayton whip the shit out of Alabama today. even better, it was in front of a national audience on ESPN. i was thrilled that Dayton once again showed they own the SEC in basketball. 80-48 and honestly, it wasn't that close.

i didn't watch much of the Monday Night Football game last night. i knew just from the score that i was going to be fucked. i ended up losing all 3 of my fantasy football matches. plus, i only went 5-9 on picks this week. not fucking good at all.

Monday Night Raw could have been great last night. could. sadly, it wasn't. Legends with JBL on WWE Network was really good though. Gotham was spectacular last night. and while The Voice had a few really good performances, only one forced me to but the song on iTunes. since i'm not able to put the video in the blog for some fucking reason, you'll see the song listed in the music section.

enjoy some music kids (hopefully):

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice, Scream Queens and The Muppets.

for some reason, i'm starting to feel light headed and sweating. i can only hope this is a sign of impending death. just in case it is, that's all for me today kids.

i'll be on here sometime tomorrow. hopefully.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

peace and chicken grease...

a quick synopsis of chaos

first, where my weekend left off from the previous post. Saturday Night Live had a few good moments but most of the show was just so so. ROH was spectacular. if i could have found more time this weekend, i would have watched it all over again.

now, for my Sunday... spent most of the day under a Tornado Watch. luckily, all we got was some wind and a ton of rain. no flooding, but the ditch was full. i did see a few branches down as i was taking down the trash 45 minutes ago.

my fantasy football day was beyond frustrating. not many touchdowns and way too many injuries. that being said, i still managed to win one of my matches. the other one will take a miracle on Monday Night Football.

the New York Rangers lost to the Kings 1-0. i watched enough of the game to know they had plenty of chances to win, just ran into a hot goalie. shit happens. the good news is Rick Nash will be back in the lineup soon.

the Sunday night shows were good. Boardwalk Empire had a few lovely twists at the end of the show. Eastbound and Down made me howl at the last few minutes. holy shit cameos and the perfect way to end the show. Homeland was brilliant, especially with the ending. Masters of Sex was pretty good but to be honest, by that point my eyes were trying to close on me. Total Divas made me laugh out loud. just the fucked up lives of professional wrestlers i suppose.

kudos to DIRECTV for the alert system they have. it certainly got my fucking attention when the tornado warning went up. i don't believe any twisters hit around here but i know Indiana and Illinois got hit pretty hard. i suppose when i wake up here in a few hours i'll get a better sense of the damage.

right now, i'm just hoping the trash stays in one place and i am asleep in the next 10 minutes.

hope everyone had a great weekend, all things considered. i'm off to go find a warm blanket as this cold front has dropped the temps by 30 degrees.

what should have been

so, today started off well enough. last night i got the 2 poems accepted. Dayton whipped Boston College in basketball in a holy shit, did we really make over 60% of our shots for the entire game. i was glad to have seen it as that might be the only way i would ever believe it happened. they play Auburn tomorrow to try to come home 3-1 on the season. they should be able to get it done. another name to remember, Dyshawn Pierre. if this kid ever reaches his full potential, look out.

so this morning i'm up early to watch some soccer to prepare myself for Manchester United this afternoon. lackluster would be too kind of a word to describe the game. listless might be a better fit. frankly, i should have known this shit filled game was coming as soon as i knew Wayne Rooney wasn't playing. so much for first place.

after that shitty experience, here came Ohio State. i figured the game would be tough, all the road games are. especially at Wisconsin. in a game that maybe set back offense 100 years, Ohio State wins in overtime 21-14. they totally didn't deserve to be anywhere near winning this game. i hope they know if they play like that next week, there will be 100,000 fans looking for... use your imagination as it will be Michigan week.

i still had the victory beer. didn't taste as good as it should have. oh well, some more football this evening. maybe i'll get a head start on picking up the trash as i have a morning full of fantasy football shit ahead of me. if my old ass can stay awake, i'll try to catch the new Saturday Night Live tonight and some ROH as well.

hope everyone has a good rest of the weekend.

peace and chicken grease.
